Everybody else already got their preordered Serenity DVD--mine's been sitting in a UPS warehouse in Greensboro for two days, not supposed to get here until after Christmas. >:(

[brightening]

Not that I have time to watch it right now--maybe it can be our New Year's fun at the beach, since my sister loves Firefly too. Don't remember whether she saw the movie even once yet.

But at least the book that left Amazon at the same time as the DVD is going to be delivered today. Fortunately, since it's Bill's Christmas (or part of it)--The Encyclopedia of Chicago. I'll also give him some clothes but those are mostly for my benefit--he'd happily still be wearing his high school shirts if various wives had not intervened.

And of course some ultra-chocolate chocolate (thanks to Anom, I know about Dagoba's organic 87% cocoa bars)! Maybe Santa will leave me the kind with hot chipotles stirred in.

And here's a present that I already opened: Your Cat Is Just Not That Into You. So many truths, so hard to accept...

I wish my cat Jez was just not that into me. She follows me everywhere I go in the house, sits at my feet when I'm sitting, and demands petting every fifteen minutes. If I don't pet her, she gets cranky and bites me (well, sometimes)

I think the book would diagnose you as co-dependent. Or that she's just setting you up for rejection.

Mop's a bit of a follow-cat, too, but right now we're still so infatuated with her gorgeousness that we just think it's cute when she sits on us everytime we create the hint of a lap. But I recall that this behavior will definitely pall, and soon.

Jez has been like this for her whole life (12 years). If she's setting me up for rejection, I wish she'd just get on with it. I'd get more work done.

She probably thinks you're playing hard-to-get. I'm sure if she gets the idea that you want her affection, she'll turn and run the other way and take up with some passing model, just to flaunt her new love. ^oo^

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

Ah, so I should take to chasing her around the house demanding she let me pet her?

; )

Now this isn't my advice, mind you! It comes from this book...let me know if it works.

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

If you ask me, that guy just has a chip on his shoulder 'coz *his* cat's just not that into him.

; ) ; )

Very likely--maybe you could send him a cat or two with a better attitude.

And: More Light!

Your poor cat (*points at icon*)

Well, it's a living.

OMG, that link is hilarious. **digs through kitty pics..maybe my cats could become famous**
My Chloe is extremely demanding when she wants attention. She thinks nothing of jumping on my lap, giving my face a brisk wash, and then biting me on the chin, just to see if I'm paying attention.
I think I need that book. I'm sure I'd find ways my cats have trained me in it..

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Oh, you would. Sample chapters:

"She Teases You with Moments of Pseudo-Intimacy"

"He Goes Out of His Way to Make You Feel or Look Bad"

"Maybe She Needs Her Own Space"

"Maybe He Had Emotionally Unavailable Parents"

And so forth.

Not my cat! I'm innocent. That cat was on a card from a friend. (But note ears--clearly not just an innocent paste-on.)

And I love that link--can't decide which is funnier, the cat with the cowboy outfit or the one under the naked baby.

But I'm sure they were all really, really mad, even if it was after they woke up.

of COURSE your cat isn't that into you if you put antlers on his head!!! good god, did you end up going to the emergency room for that action? he looks incredibly pissed...

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

That's very true, but I'm innocent on the antler score--that came from a friend's card. I thought at first they were photoshopped, but looking at the ears and general demeanor, I believe that cat is truly suffering the indignity we see.

My own cats, however, are antler-free--but of course, that doesn't mean they're not pissed, just on general principles. or maybe they saw the picture.

"Ultra-chocolate"--I like that! Not as much as the chocolate itself, but still.

I'd send you some of the other kind, but I'm out of it right now. And it won't be easy to get to the store for more till the transit strike's over. Good thing I still have some of the other flavors left! Well, consider it sent virtually.

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

I have them! I found them in a store here. I guess people who love it, love it all.

Merry Christmas from the hometown of Dagoba Chocolate, as well as the home town of Endangered Species Chocolate. We are just happily swimming in chocolate in this small town!

Hope your holiday is a happy one!

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Oh, you live in paradise. I imagine it smelling like chocolate all the time.

Have a miraculous New Year!
